Though it sounds extreme, there are a lot of smart people in the AI community who truly believe AI could end humanity.

No. There are not.

Believing anything resembling current tools has the capacity to end humanity in incontrovertible proof that you are not smart.

Let's ignore the fact that none of the major religions, or major sects of major religions, is internally consistent enough that it would be possible for a rational take on what their god's opinion is on anything modern using any kind of logic. Let's ignore that none of the sects agree with each other and that every one of them arbitrarily picks and chooses from their book and random external writings to determine "what god thinks".

It doesn't matter how many people are religious. It's still spam not actually relevant to piracy in any way.

The Zelda titles also choke on the switch lol.

A lot of newer games are also big enough that backing them up reliably actually is a meaningful burden. My Steam library is like 900 games. Even though a lot of them are 500MB, a lot of them aren't.

I can't store that shit.

There are some, absolutely. Strategy, jrpg, and 2D stuff especially.

For 3D games with 3D physics, the lack of power is almost always a clear limitation, though. That CPU sucks ass.

I really want to join them, but "sign up with your actual IP" is an unconditional dealbreaker as far as I'm concerned.

I don't consider a VPN optional for regular web browsing. I'm definitely not turning it off for something that's actually Illegal.

But they're not.

According to the actual GDPR website, data tied to a pseudonym is only sometimes personal information if it's easy to tie it to a real identity. Lemmy posts don't qualify.

People enjoy it.

That's the only reason that's necessary.

It's not possible.

By design, everything you posted is shared to hundreds of other servers, all of which are capable of doing anything they want with it. I can guarantee you that there are several that are archiving anything and everything that gets federated to them and will not remove that content when the original server does.

It's not all as much gore as the brain parasite, but it's full of scenes that are every bit as dark and fucked up. I won't list anything in particular detail because of spoilers, but i've seen dozens of things that are super fucked up, and I'm not even out of act 1. I've had numerous people want to rip out eyeballs, failed a dice roll to mind control an enemy into eating himself, been suicide bombed, had a slave incubator for a witch go apeshit on me for rescuing her, and loads more. It's absolutely super dark.

Are you playing with a controller or M/KB?

There are plenty of other CRPGs (good search term) that are fine with a mouse/keyboard. Larian kind of stands alone in terms of how well they handle with a controller though. Divinity Original Sin 2 is still dark, but not as in your face about it.

Other terms that have similar battles (but generally more closed maps) are tactical RPGs, strategy RPGs, turn based tactics or turn based strategy. I can't break down the lines between any of those sub-genres, but they're all kind of in the neighborhood. A lot of them are also dark, though.
